Further, t^haianderstocd that its offioiaU wereoeorteoiu, andanxioas to main- tain the confidence of the people, and its employes civil and intelligent. I must con- fess that my experience confirmed my antici- pations on these points â€" in short, I found the line a well-manaced one compared with other lines in Canada. The momii^ was bright when I liUft the Union Dep^ for -OranceviUe. Leading behind me the already hifirh-lifted curtain of smoke which hunir over the metropolis losing the brief glimpses afforded of the bay, with its bright sails and busy steamers and passing th rough the sprightly suburb ci Park dale, now active with building operations, so numerous as to give it and Brocliton the appearance of being just turned out to order from the bands of the contractor, we dash forward at a rapidly increasing rate through the cooling morning air amid scenes of suburban comfort, till LAJUrrOlT HILLS is reached, two or three of the proverbia tall chimneys standing out over the opposite banks of a picturesque ravine, in the bottom of which runs the Uumber. There are spots here well suited for picnics, provided the owners were agreeable, and the village itself seems capable of development, especially in mills or factories. COOKSVILLE, a quiet, unpretentious little village in a fine farming district, is next passed, and wr are soon brought to frrftlETSVlLLf, and Streetsville junction, whose stations are only two miles apart, but whose urban proximity is such that they may almost be said to be one village. Streetsville has now about 1,300 inhabitants, and bsi eeveral dry-goods and geheral ttores in which a brisk trade is aone. A newspaper and a branch bank are at present among the am- bitions of Streetsville, and the latter at least is seriously needed. Brampton, twelve miles away, has close relations with the village. The River Credit runs near the village in the direction of Brampton, and so on north- westerly towards Orangeville, and from this river the railway takes its name, although this is now the least important part of th road. At Streetsville i unction passengers change cars for Orangeville. BRAMPTON, • a town of between 3,000 and 4,000, looks flourishing, as well as pleasant, when viewed from the station. It has a large agricultural works, several factories, and is well advanced from a literary point of view, having three good papers â€" the Conservator, the Times, and the Banner. Tbe country hitherto passed has been level, with fields of ripened grain continually in prospect. Now, however, the monotony of the wide stretch â€" at least, it is monoton- ous from a mere artistic aspect â€" is gradually relieved by undulations which break into wild and picturesque hills when Riversdale is passed, and culminate in the charming mountain scenery of the now celebrated FOEKS OF THE CREDIT. Here a considerable elevation has been reached by the train, which winds along the skirts of the mountain, with 500 feet of ' crasrgy heights to the left above, and 300 or 400 feet of bowery ravine to the right below. On all sides the fresh green moun- tain trees grow luxuriantly, and where tr.e rocks are not hidden, by these they are em- bowered in thick bushes of raspberries, thimble berries, and blackberries, the ripened fruit sending forth a perfume so grateful thai all car windows are opened and all hands protrude their heads (if such a bull can be used) to inhale the delightful breeze. Stoutly puffs the engine as the train creeps her devious way up the heights, show- ing bright patches of the river which winds below. At last, as we skirt round what seems to be the highest hill we come rumb- ling on a bridge wuich curves with a grand sweep across a gorge, and here, where the two mountain streams join, are the forks of the credit. A prettier sight could not be witnessed. The bridge is 1,400 feet long, and 86 feet above the bottom of the ravine. As the train rolls slow ly over, tbe eye take in the clear dashing waters of the two streams, which meet, embrace, and become one as they flow in quiet depths through a broadening valley where nestle, in a sort of sleepy hollow, the rustic homes of a few residents it takes in tbe blue perspective of part of the long valley up through which we have come it rakes in the sudden break in the range of hills across the valley, and the wild and rugged aspect of the steep heights above. The little patches of gardeu below, some enclosed in rude cribs by tbe streanoside the rustic log bridge spanning one of the streams where sit two or three holiday-makers in dreamy conten^plation the log and weather-board houses on the oUier side below the great bridge, where some girls are cookins the family meals in the open air the thin funnels of smoke reachmg from the depths below to the blue heights above bringing to mind the pictures of Fennimore' Cooper, or' the scenes in Hia- watha â€" all these details make up aspectacle enrapturing to any lover of noun tain scenery, and charmmg even to tiloae who cxti only see the pionic side of nsiturs's fccautien. AU that has been said of this place as a picnic resort is fully justified, uid in the future it is bound to become famous. A number of parties were camping out in various spots, and already quite a number of excursions had come from the city and other points. The spot has only lately been brought to the notice of excursi(Hiist8, but in a few years it must beeonM.bi9 tf th* yMtt futbrite r*.

Sitveffal exeuision poties had visited the town this yeais chiefly from Toronto. The Orange villiams however, when they do not go to the metropolis rej^r, when they want an outing, to the picturesque wilds of the Forks or to the charming shores of the CaledMi or Mulmur Lakes â€" breery, clear snd pleasant fresh water sheets of 300 to 600 acres in extent, in which fish and game abound to the delight of the local iportsmen. Returning from Orange- viU in the afternoon my route lay over the Elora and Fergus- branch of the Credit Valley which is some 27 miles in extent from the junction at CHTBCH'S 7ALLS. This place takes its name on the principle on which a good many American localities receive their patronyms â€" because there, is neither a church nor a faUs to he seen. There is a small cataract, ho« ever, where runs a romantic mill and the surroundings of the place are very beautiful from a scenic point of view. The up train was somewhat late and while we waited to connect with it) the passengers wandered forth along the quiet monntam sides where raspberries were to be had in plenty for the picking. A shrill whistle echoing through the glades brought us back again and we weie soon rattling through the twilight air at the rate of 35 or 40 miles an hour. Only one car acombinatiou carriage, which serves as a passenger car and liaggage car, is used on this branch, but the freight business is good and is fast developing. It was quite dark when we arrived at ELOEA, and the town, true to the best business habits, had closed its work for the day and scarcely a place, except the hotels, was to be found open. Elora is prettily situa- ted at the junction of the Irvine and Grand Kivers, whose rocky and tortuous banks afford some lovely scenery. Just below one of the bridges is a romantic spot where a cool sprint; of the clearest water flows from the rock, and at the confluence of the rivers there are several caves, the well-beaten paths to which show them to be an object of considerable curiosity to visitors and villagers. Among the indus- tri s of Elora is a carpet factory which has been running with excellent success for the past year or so. They run by steam and water power and keep 15 or 20 looms in operation. The fabrics made are a kind of kidderminster, known ss two ply in- grained, of which three varieties are made and about thirty different patterns turned out. They manufacture expressly for the Canadian trade, which is reached largely through John Macdonald Co. of Toronto. Leaving Elora early in the morning I reach FERGUS which is pleasantly situated on the banks of the Grand River only four miles distant, Fergus and Elora are considered pretty well matched, each having its weekly news- paper, which cover about the same field as far as country circulation goes and each having about the same population. Like Elora, Fergus is built nearly alto- gether of light coloreil stone, and has several mills and factories on the banks of the river. For some reason, however, the three or four tanneries of the town have been idle for nearly a year and the sewing machine factory has not been in operation for some time past. Building operations, notwithstanding this, are going on and a large new hotel is nearly com- pleted. DOWN THE LIXE-- from Fergus to the main line we pass part of the rich grazing country for which the country of Wellington is famous and two or three stations, such as Douglas, Garafaxa, Hillsburg and Erin, are rising in impor- tance. Ambifleztrons Men. One of the New York papers not long ago had an article on right and left-handed peo- ple, or ambidexters, in which several re- markable instances of persons p .ssessing this faculty were given. Strange to say, how- ever, no mention was made of Ben Lusby or George Tiffany. Lusby is famous the coun- try over, and is known as the lightping ticket seller. He travelled for many years with the largest circuses, and received al- most fabulous pay, being as great a curiosity as anvthiog to be seen m the tents. He used both hands in selling tickets, taking in mon- ey, handing out tickets and making change more rapidly with each than an ordinary ticket seller could with both. It was no tmusual thing to see him select six or eight full- price children's tickets, receive a f 10 or $^ bill, and pick out and return the change with one hand, while he w«8 selling one or two tickets at a time and making change at the same time with the other hand. George TifiEany, who had always had a large acquaintance with theatrical and show people, and who was a friend of Lusby, poeseiised the same faculty to a considerable ex ent, and on several occasioDS gave exhi- bitions to his fi lends of iiis ability to imitate Lusby, having probably prabticcd under his direction. He was scarc^ a fourth as lapid as Lusby, but was acknowledged " in the grofesiion" to be, with the exception of Los- y, thd only two-hinded ticket-seller in the wdrld^ Between the men, there was a marked contrast in appearance.

A more remarkable inctsnoe of dual'faeal ties than any mentioned is that of a gjP^tle- man well knowp in St. Louk, Mr. JS. C. Lackland. Mr. Lackland was for soxpe time Treasurer of the Fair Association, and ex- cited no little attention and remark among those wiio saw him using alternately either hand in writing letters or messages. The on- lookers were, however, still more aston- ished to see him when in a hurry grasp a pen or pencil and write rapidly with both hands, and would have been yet more amazed had they known that the messages he was at work on at the same time were addressed to difierent people and entirely, different [in character. When not busy enough to em- ploy both hands, he generally usee tbe left, but the character of the chirography is the same, and it is doubtful if he himself knows the difference. He does not seem to consid- er himself possessed of an unusual gift or talent" and would, no doubt, have been much amused had he heard the remark made by an acquaintance, who, after seeing him write two letters at once, confidei tially in- formed a frimd that he most have his brains parted in the middle or be possessed of two sets. The science of medic ine teaches that unusual mental strain cr activity corre- spcmdingly depresses the system physically, but the rule evidently does not apply to Mr, Lacklaod, â- :(' The Bescne of Niasara Falls. More than once we have spoken of the fatal injury done to the State of New York and to the national character itself, by the desecration of Niagara Falls. In the letters of correspondents during this sum- mer we have observed a complaint of the diminishing public interest in the Falls as a resort, and of the great falling off in the number of visitors. This is due to the total want of care in preserving the attrac- tive character of the neighborhood. Every kind of disagreeable object is huddled along the shore, until tbe complete vulgarization of all the approaches and points of vantage, the nuisance f encroaching buildings and hackmen and Indian shops, and a multitude of petty annoyances, fairly repel the visitor, and give t e worst of reputations for comfort and agrceability to a resort which should be among tbe most delightful in the country. When the immediate neighborhood of Niagara is covered with factories and tenement- houses and their dependencies, the sublime spectacle, one of the true wonders of the world, will be effectually and forever lost as an influence of moral elevation and happiness. And this fate is already impending. One 1 the islands has been already mined as a part of the landscape others are threatened. The bank all along the American rapids has been shorn of foliage, of trees and vines, and covered with mills, bams, sheds, and unsightly structures. In two years the youngest heir of tbe Goat Island estate will come of age, and tbe island will be then sold and covered with factories. This is the time for action to save Niagara Falls. A few montbs later, even, will be too la e. Is ic worsh while to preserve this natural wonder for the delight of the world If it is, what shall be done Niagata is a great water-power, and there is no need of losing it as such. But that is not the question. It is not whether Niagara is more valuable as factor y power or as beauty and sublimity, but how it shall best serve both us and beauty. The answer is simple, for the situation is ob- vious. The river above the Falls Lies high over the lower country. Its power is available everywhere. By drawing it ff above the catarac" and reserving a little space of shore, bank, and island all around the Falls, the problem is solved the factories are builc below the cataract is saved. A s* rip of land broadening from a hundred feet at the end to eight hundred or a thousand feet above ths Falls, inclosing tbe catar ct and its im- mediate neighborhood, and capable of such landscape treatment as to plant out every unsightly object, is all that is necessary. Such a plan was suggested four or five yeais ago, and was most urgently com- mended by leading men on both sides of the river. But it was a general proposition, evidently most proper kud desirable, but involving expense and trouble. It was nobody's business in particular, and after an admirable report from Mr. Olm- sted, and some attempts to arouse public interest, the subject dropped. The representations now made, however, â- haw that without prompt action Niagara is lost, except as a water-power. The rescue of the cataract, its poper preser- vation, and the permanent maintenance of its immediate vicinity as a public park, is a duty which the 8tate of New York may wisely undertake. It is one of the public works for a high public purpose, like the Is any Baaapn aa^Uths anA iDSipQT, _,,^ So spar with flowers, or so sweet with soaih As tfit tf^tke Mse W41M ]ApeMd ofaenit, _W|ttn nisbts are tvMQUU sd^ da/s are l«if^ Tbe sileooe and ahadowa-teve paassa Tbere ia nothing but onlyecsal gisilnets Amaagthehf. â- â-  vnTTl- Thisistlie season wliea lads and lsisni^# " â-  Are np Retimes in the sonny field When the swish oftheseytbeiaysiow th^gi^asses And the famiag boqrs new pleasures yield.

How the Cliildren Raised Cliarltv. Many years ago in a little village among the hills, lived some children whose names you would know v«ry well if you saw them here but it would not do to make them public, for, to tell the truth, some of them have not grown any older yet in h^rt, al- though their merry faces'^ure wrinkled with the smiles of age, and the tops of their heads resemble snow-drifts. As they lived long before the iron horse had dug through the mountain barriers, only one of them had ever seen a city. He had made a trip to Boston on the stage, starting before aay- hght, and riding all the next day and night over the route now travelled by the express train in a few hours. The hero of this re- markable expedition was named Joseph, and,. like the "dunces who have been to Rome," he seldom failed to allude in every gossible manner to his adventures abroad, o, when the children met to discuss the project of giving a theatrical performance in order to raise money enjugh to buy a Thanksgiving turkey for a pow widow, Joseph was, of course, choeen manager, because he had seen a real play at the Museum. " My friends," said the oracle, in his opening speech "you will need a curtain, and a place in which to hang it." "My father will let us use the mill-cham- ber,*' said blue-eyed Katy, the miller's daughter "for the stream is so low that he will not work there for a month, and there are lots of boards which we can use if we do not spoil them. " "Very well," said Joseph; "to-morrow Will be Saturday, and we will meet at the mill to build the stage and cast our plays so let us all bring any pieces of cloth we can borrow, and as .many play books as possi- ble." So that bright afternoon sun, as it shone cheerily through the chinks and cracks of the mill-garret, lit up the bright faces of the children who were peparing for the opening of their theatre. The boys first brought up the boards and carefully piled them at the westerti end of the room, until they had foimed a platform three feet high across one end of the chamber, while the girls sewed into three curtams the motley strips of cloth which they had borrowed from their mothers' rag-bags â€" the odd combinations of materials and shades thus obtamed producing an ef- fect very much like some of the grotesque draperies which the modem art-lovers pro- fess to admire. The most showy piece was chosen for the central curtain, upon the edge of which brass rings were sewed. The boys next stretched a wire across the room at just the same distance from the stage as the height of the curtain, on which the girls had 9tmng the rings before it was fastened in place. A^post was then put up at each side of the curtain and securely nailed to the stage and at the top beams of the room, and the two other pieces of cloth tacked, one on each side, to the post and to the sides ot the room. Two other curtains were made, hurge enough to fill the spaces from the posts to the back of the room, thus fomung a dressing-room on each side of the stage, the entrances to which were made by pushing away the curtains at the front and pear comers, as required. The only change of scene from interior to exterior was made by pine-trees fastened into wooden blocks^ whioh oould be placed in uiious positions. The setting sun lighted up the completed stage, and the busy children grouped them- .â- elvesm restful attitudes upon it, to select »'^3#i^|b had, at -^â-  « ^ph we^mong th^ libraries rfrtpfc 'Min^Mr,-' who were content with "Pilgriaa'sProgress."
